It Starts With Her Core

Matos revealed in an interview with Simply Shredded that she played futbol, basketball, and volleyball growing up, but only got serious about fitness a few years ago. She hired a personal trainer to develop a killer summer body. Well, mission accomplished. After a year of intense training and strict diet, Matos transformed her body to competition level. Alice said, “I went to three different bodybuilding competitions; in Rio de Janeiro, Madrid, and in [the U.S.] It was truly an amazing experience and when I look back on things I feel happy to see how far I have come.”

Hard Work Pays Off

Alice was blessed with amazing genetics–for sure. But maintaining her physique takes an insane fitness regiment. She works out at least five times a week, combining cardio and Muay Thai training with weightlifting. Alice focuses on one part of her body each day of the week. She alternates between lower and upper body workouts using both machines and free weights.

In the Simply Shredded interview, she listed barbell squats, the bench press and a back row as her go-to exercises. She typically does three sets for 12-18 reps. We’re tired just writing about the regiment. But as you can see–persistence paid off.

The Empire Grows

Matos actively competed in bodybuilding competitions from 2011 to 2015, participating in the Arnold Classic and the International Federation of Body Building meets (IFBB) in Brazil and Spain. Alice leveraged her growing fame to become a social media superstar and entrepreneur. She owns and operates her own clothing line, LaBellaMafia. The athleisure collection features jackets, tops, accessories, supplements, and of course leggings. LaBellaMafia’s Instagram page alone has nearly one million followers already.
